It isn't too often that love matches made on reality TV shows actually turn into truly blissful and lifelong pairings. But for one couple, the future looked promising.

This couple met at the altar on the reality show Married at First Sight in 2014. They starred in the spinoff series Married at First Sight: The First Year, at which time they truly fell in love, they say. On their second anniversary in July 2016, they shared wonderful news.

They were pregnant. But four months into the pregnancy, the couple left everyone stunned. One year ago, Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner delivered heartbreaking news to fans. They had miscarried.

Jamie delivered their precious baby boy Johnathan at 17 weeks gestation. He was too tiny to survive outside the womb. Still, he made a huge impact in the short amount of time he was with his loving parents.

"I know he is up in heaven and I am sure he is bouncing on clouds, but selfishly I wish he was still bouncing in my belly. I'll never get to see this angel again on earth ... My heart hurts so bad. Losing our baby has been the most terrible experience. I wish no one would ever have to endure this."

Not long after, the young couple vowed not to lose themselves in extended grief after mourning the loss of their bundle of joy. Instead, they would cherish the brief memories they had together.

"He was only here with us for a short time, but he'll always be in our hearts! We will always love you sweet little Johnathan."
